We’ll start with a short scenic walk (10 mins) to our first stop-an authentic Portuguese restaurant off the tourist track. Enjoy the jaw dropping views along the way, then savor your first sip of port and try a bite of a traditional Portuguese snack. I’ll cover some key points on Port Wine as you enjoy the tasting…I have a winemaking background and I can’t help myself. My mission is to lead you to discover your favorite type of Port Wine (there is more than one!) Next, we will head to a boutique, Portuguese family owned port wine cellar where you will experience a cellar tour and a tasting of 3 more different styles of port wine. For the grand finale, access will be provided to a secret rooftop bar with post card worthy views, where you will enjoy Porto’s signature cocktail-a Porto Tónico. Here, you can enjoy a different expression of port wine while soaking up the view. You are welcome to stay as long as you wish. Not included: gratuities and additional drink or food at the rooftop. A non-alcoholic option is available: a chocolate tasting in lieu of the port wine tasting at the winery, and a mocktail at the rooftop. You must be 18+ to be served alcohol in Portugal.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
